***SPOTLIGHT REVIEW***The Devil's Due by Steven F. Freeman

The Devil's Due (The Blackwell files #5)

Former Army Captain Alton Blackwell never thought he'd return to Afghanistan. 
Now he has no choice. 

While on their honeymoon, cryptologist Alton Blackwell and FBI Agent Mallory Wilson receive a frantic plea for help. Resourceful Afghani teenager Mastana Meer, once instrumental in rescuing a mutual friend from Afghanistan terrorists, finds herself coerced into a nefarious plot by her Al-Qaeda uncle. 

Having escaped the clutches of her terrorist uncle, the teen is days away from leaving Kabul for a better life when Alton and Mallory lose all contact with her. 

As the former soldiers race to Afghanistan to search for Mastana, they battle Al-Qaeda terrorists, a resurgent cult of evil, and a web of political intrigue in which the label of friend and foe is not easily assigned. The duo must summon all their investigatory powers and combat skills in a desperate bid to track down their young friend and rescue her before her captors’ malevolent designs can be set in motion.



My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alton and Mallory are finally getting married and everything goes off without a hitch...until the honeymoon. When they get an email from their young friend Mastana in Afganastan they must find a way to help her, but how much can they do from thousands of miles away?

This was another great adventure in the Blackwell files where we see Alton and his friends helping others using their skills and smarts.

We see Alton and Mallory happy is their life together and when trouble comes they do what they do best and help out working together.

Alton has some troubles returning to Afghanistan, but as always he works through them this time with Mallory there to him him as well.

Although this story is told mostly from Altons POV we see how happy Mallory is through him and how happy they are together. We also see the POVs of Mastana and the evil leader so we get a better understanding of how things are going from all sides making the story all the more interesting to unravel.
